Hi, need a little guidance here, I'm getting the handbrake warning light illuminating under heavy braking, but not all the time, just occasionally.

I have checked the pads all round and they look about half way worn and topped up my master cylinder res and this still happens.

Is this a warning that my pads are getting low, or do I have some sort of hanbrake connector problem?

Top up your brake fluid. The sensor is extremely sensitive, so even 0.5mm low and it'll flash a warning under braking.

Yeah I've done that, it was on the min line, so I've since topped that up to max just yesterday, but still this happens?

add a little more ;)

If that doesn't work then it's time to check for error codes
